Body of stronger sheet steel





The indicated body parts are made by welding together plates of differing thickness and characteristics and then deep-drawing these parts. In their crash behavior, these body parts are distinguished by their high energy absorption.






The indicated body parts attain their final strength only under the temperature effects of the production stage of cathodic immersion painting and drying.

Body repairs by reshaping are not possible if these body parts have been excessively deformed. Here, the repair must be made by the use of new parts or sectional repairs.

The use of stronger steels for the body has consequences for body repair work. For this reason, use only "Original Porsche Spare Parts" for body repair work!
